Democratic Party Candidate tries to send pro-life group to jail in USA

Note by Marc Aupiais

A democrat who, like most of his party unmistakably voted for a financially unsound bill mandating citizens to buy morally questionable health insurance, which has caused and will continue to cause the closure of pro-life hospitals in the USA is attempting to silence pro-life feminist SBA campaigners through criminal charges. Judges in the USA are often activist and hardly up to the standard of their judicial system peers.

"As you may have heard, after he found out the SBA List intended to put up four billboards across his Congressional district, Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-OH) filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission alleging that we are falsely accusing him of voting for taxpayer funding of abortion as a result of his vote for the health care legislation.

This an attack on our free speech, designed to drain us of time and resources in the final days of the elections, and while we await a full-blown hearing of the Ohio Election Commission (where they could fine us thousands of dollars and even send Marjorie to jail for up to six months), the SBA List has asked a federal judge to consider a temporary restraining order against the Ohio Elections Commission proceedings—he will rule today.

In the meantime, we have radio ads running in throughout the Cincinnati area hammering Rep. Driehaus"

I have always been fascinated with the law. By chance, it happens to be my field. I am an admitted attorney of the High Court of South Africa, as of 28 January 2016.

It was my fellow students'​ suggestions, in the final years of school, that I might be suited to a career in law, along with long discussions with a friend of mine - which imbued me with a keen interest in the history, language, and laws of the Roman Empire - that made me realise that law was the choice of career that best suited the ideas and plans I had for the future. I enrolled in an LLB degree at Wits University and subsequently graduated Bachelor of Laws a few years later.

I completed, with distinction, the Law Society's Legal Education and Development (L.E.A.D) School for Legal Practice program. I am pleased to have had the privilege of having served at two very different firms during my articles, giving me a much broader experience of work in the profession.

I believe success requires not just hard work, but intelligence, perseverance, humility, integrity, ingenuity, diligence, a strong work ethic, and the courage to request the assistance of those better-versed in a matter, or field.

I am passionate about the place of my birth, South Africa and am proud to be a patriot and citizen of this diverse and beautiful nation. I consider myself a global citizen and keep connections in a number of different nations across the world. Communicating with people from other cultures, I believe, has aided me to have a more open-minded approach in so far as how I see and interact with the world.

The cultures and legal systems, morals, and courtesy systems, languages, intricacies and religions of South Africa and of the world, are subjects I love to research. I extensively enjoy reading and writing, and in keeping abreast with important events occurring in other countries, I find my knowledge of other languages, especially French, to be quite useful.
